Yeah. The thing is, I have no problem saying there may have been some process, being, whatever that "made" what we perceive as reality.
But since I am not aware of any way of ever learning anything about anything outside our reality, it is irrelevant other than as speculation. Even if they sent us a message or something, we'd have no way to verify its source. Or to know that what was communicated was true.
We'd have to escape our reality somehow, or find an amazing way to observe other realities from our own reality. This sounds like science fiction at the moment, but who knows, maybe in the future it will be possible. Until then, we're just guessing blind or projecting our imagination as far as I can see.
That's assuming that there is anything else apart from our reality, of course.
